Interplanetary

Not only did I enjoy watching this movie, I'm also glad that I watched it. While I only give it a 6 because it is not a film for everyone, there is just something very simple and enjoyable about this ode to b-movies that will stick with me and warms my soul. In terms of a plot, the film is not always coherent and there are major holes. But I don't think that is the point. The best way I can describe this movie is that it is like Office Space or Napoleon Dynamite but on Mars and with people's arms being pulled off. It is about the interactions of people that don't really care anymore even though everyone seems to be disappearing or blowing up. It seems like the people who made this movie really enjoyed themselves. If you like old 50's b-movies see Interplanetary and also check out The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra

We've all seen or been forced to watch one of those 1950's bubble helmeted d sci-fi adventures which took place in the caverns of the planet Amazonian With the cast of characters a debonair leading man, a kid from the country and some tough speak guy from Brooklyn and maybe a black crew member named Lincoln Hamilton who says yowzer a lot. They bumble around the planet device away they can survive without their cumbersome helmets and free the oppressed masses of that flying rock. Well not this Roger Cormanesque adventure, an alien skeleton is found by an alien mining team, and everybody spends the rest of the movie back biting and double-crossing each other not to mention the skeleton has friends and babies. And there were actually some jokes some one liners in here.

Where to start with this?.

I really wanted to like this, I love sci-fi films, even the ultra low budget ones, I love horror films, even low budget ones, but this, oh my God.

The special effects were straight out of the 1970s Doctor Who school of sci-fi. Cheap looking sets, plastic guns, boiler suits for spacesuits. Hard to believe this was made in the 21st Century, it would have been rubbish even back in the 70s. As for the acting, good God, where did they get these people?. The acting is worse than even that in any adult movie, it is that bad. Luckily I was given the DVD from a friend, I am so glad I never paid for it. It says something for how bad this is though, that my friend had bought it for £1 from a Pound Shop less than three years after it was made. It isn't even worth the pound he paid to be honest.

Another for the "Avoid" list I am afraid.

This is awesome. It's like Blake7 meets The Office on Mars.

Oh my, this is one to stay away from.

Obvious point #1 ... the costumes and attire is something you would expect from a Halloween party. This was really the best they could do?

Obvious point #2 ... the script is HORRIBLE. The writer probably wrote the entire script over a weekend.

Obvious point #3 ... the acting would have had people get up and leave a high school play.

I have to ask again ... this was the best you could do? Was this for a drama class? ... did you even pass the class?

So, why the title of my review? Look at some of the highest ranting reviews. They have only reviewed one or two movies. Hmmm. And such a poor movie getting such a high rating? What a strange coincidence?
